Recipe: Autumn Apple Quinoa Salad

Autumn Apple Quinoa Salad

As I was browsing the store the other day, I was drawn to the prepared food bar at Wegmans and the many selections of quinoa salads they had on display. One in particular caught my eye and I decided to recreate my own version of this fall friendly salad.

Ingredients:

Serves 4

1/2 C Quinoa

1 Large Apple or 2 Small Apples

1/2 C shredded purple cabbage

1 C chopped spinach

1/4 C Roasted sunflower seeds

1/4 C dried cranberries

1 T Apple Cider Vinegar

1 T Honey

1 T Lemon Juice

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Cook quinoa and set aside to cool. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Add quinoa and mix.

I ate this on a bed of mixed greens with the addition of avocado and honey goat cheese.
